Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar photovoltaic module manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for the production of solar aluminum frames. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, solar photovoltaic power generation has become a widely used method of renewable energy utilization. As a crucial component of solar photovoltaic modules, aluminum frames play a vital role in protecting the solar cells, providing structural support, and facilitating installation. In the production process of aluminum frames, the unloading stage is a critical step in removing the finished aluminum frames from the production equipment and transferring them to subsequent processes or storage areas. Traditional unloading methods often rely on manual operation, which presents several problems. Manual unloading is inefficient, unable to meet the fast pace of large-scale production, leading to extended production cycles and increased production costs. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of unloading, easily causing surface damage such as bumps and scratches to the aluminum frames during handling, affecting the product's appearance quality and protective performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism for the production of aluminum frames for solar cells, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A feeding mechanism for producing aluminum frames for solar cells includes a base plate, with support feet fixedly connected to the four lower corners of the base plate, and fixed posts fixedly connected to the four upper corners of the base plate. Balance blocks are movably fitted onto the outer surfaces of the four fixed posts. A cylinder is embedded in the base plate, and a clamping device is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the two left-side balance blocks. A first electric telescopic rod is embedded in the fixed plate. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear right sides of the base plate, and a feeding device is fixedly connected to the front end of the front connecting plate.

[0006] The feeding device includes a rotary motor. The output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to a movable rod through the front connecting plate. A movable loop is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the movable rod. A feeding plate is fixedly welded to the outer surface of the movable loop. A movable groove is opened on the outer side of the feeding plate. The rear end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the front connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the rear end of the movable rod is movably connected to the front end of the rear connecting plate via a bearing.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution: the rear end of the movable rod is connected to the rear connecting plate via a bearing, which makes the rotation flexible and smooth, reduces frictional resistance, and ensures that the rotary motor drives the feeding plate to rotate stably and accurately.

[0009] Preferably, the movable groove of the feeding plate has a depth of 15 mm and a width of 12 mm, and the inner surface of the movable groove is provided with a lubricating coating.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution: the movable groove of a specific size is adapted to the material, and the lubricating coating reduces resistance, so that the aluminum frame slides smoothly in the groove, avoids jamming, and ensures efficient material feeding without scratches or damage.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping device includes a lifting plate and a clamping plate. The lifting plate has slots on its right front side and right rear side. The lifting plate has U-shaped connecting frames fixedly connected to its upper left side and upper right side. The upper ends of the two U-shaped connecting frames are fixedly connected to top plates. The upper ends of the two top plates are fixedly connected to second electric telescopic rods. The output ends of the two second electric telescopic rods pass through the two top plates and are fixedly connected to pressure plates. Four clamping plates are provided. Three springs are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four clamping plates. The left and right ends of the lifting plate are fixedly welded to the inner sides of the four balance blocks.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this clamping device has a sophisticated structure, with a spring-assisted clamping plate that adapts to the aluminum frame, and an electric telescopic rod that applies precise force to firmly clamp the material, effectively preventing frame displacement and damage during unloading.

[0013] Preferably, one end of each of the springs, away from the four clamping plates, is fixedly connected to the left and right inner walls of the two U-shaped connecting frames.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution: the spring connects the clamping plate and the U-shaped frame, giving the clamping plate elastic buffer, buffering the impact force, gently clamping the aluminum frame, protecting the frame surface and ensuring clamping stability.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the feed plate furthest from the movable lasso is engaged in two slots.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the blanking plate and the slot are snapped together to form a stable connection structure, achieve precise docking, ensure a smooth material transfer process, and prevent the aluminum frame from shifting during blanking.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, the device adopts an automated feeding design. Through the coordinated operation of components such as cylinders and electric telescopic rods, it can quickly respond to feeding commands. For example, the clamping device can accurately and quickly grasp the aluminum frame, and the feeding device can stably and efficiently transfer materials. Compared with manual operation, its overall feeding speed is greatly improved, which can effectively shorten the production cycle, meet the requirements of large-scale production for rapid feeding, and enable enterprises to process more aluminum frame products per unit time, thereby significantly improving production capacity and enhancing the enterprise's market competitiveness.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the feeding mechanism possesses precise positioning and stable transmission capabilities. The multi-structure design of the clamping device, such as the spring-assisted clamping plate, adapts to the shape of the aluminum frame and firmly clamps it, reducing swaying.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A feeding mechanism for producing aluminum frames for solar cells includes a base plate 1. Support feet 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the base plate 1. Fixing columns 3 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the base plate 1. Balance blocks 4 are movably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the four fixing columns 3. A cylinder 5 is embedded in the base plate 1. A clamping device 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 5. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two balance blocks 4 on the left side. A first electric telescopic rod 8 is embedded in the fixing plate 7. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the front side and the rear side of the right end of the base plate 1. A feeding device 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the front connecting plate 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, the feeding device 10 includes a rotary motor 101. The output end of the rotary motor 101 is fixedly connected to a movable rod 102 through the front connecting plate 9. A movable loop 103 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the movable rod 102. A feeding plate 104 is fixedly welded to the outer surface of the movable loop 103. A movable groove 105 is opened on the outer side of the feeding plate 104. The rear end of the rotary motor 101 is fixedly connected to the front end of the front connecting plate 9. The rear end of the movable rod 102 is movably connected to the front end of the rear connecting plate 9 through a bearing. The movable groove 105 of the feeding plate 104 has a depth of 15 mm and a width of 12 mm, and the inner surface of the movable groove 105 is provided with a lubricating coating.

[0032] Through the above scheme: the rotary motor 101 starts, and its output end drives the movable rod 102 to rotate. The rear end of the movable rod 102 is movably connected to the rear connecting plate 9 through a bearing. This connection method allows the movable rod 102 to rotate stably and flexibly between the connecting plates 9, providing power and a precise rotation axis for the rotation of the unloading plate 104. When the movable rod 102 rotates, the movable sleeve 103 on its outer surface rotates accordingly. Since the movable sleeve 103 is fixedly welded to the unloading plate 104, it drives the unloading plate 104 to perform circumferential motion. During the rotation, the tilt angle of the unloading plate 104 changes. The aluminum frame is placed on the unloading plate 104. Because the movable groove 105 of the unloading plate 104 has a specific depth of 15 mm and a width of 12 mm and has a lubricating coating on the inner surface, the aluminum frame, under the guidance of gravity and the movable groove 105, overcomes the small friction force and slides smoothly down the movable groove 105 to the designated unloading position, realizing the transfer of materials from the processing area to the subsequent process or storage area. The whole process is completed by the precise control of the rotary motor 101 and the coordinated cooperation of various components.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamping device 6 includes a lifting plate 61 and a clamping plate 68. The lifting plate 61 has slots 62 on its right front side and right rear side. The lifting plate 61 has U-shaped connecting frames 63 fixedly connected to its upper left side and upper right side. The upper ends of the two U-shaped connecting frames 63 are fixedly connected to top plates 64. The upper ends of the two top plates 64 are fixedly connected to second electric telescopic rods 65. The output ends of the two second electric telescopic rods 65 pass through the two top plates 64 and are fixedly connected to pressure plates 66. Four clamping plates 68 are provided. Three springs 67 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the four clamping plates 68. The left and right ends of the lifting plate 61 are fixedly welded to the inner sides of the four balance blocks 4. The ends of the springs 67 away from the four clamping plates 68 are fixedly connected to the left and right inner walls of the two U-shaped connecting frames 63. The end of the unloading plate 104 away from the movable lasso 103 is engaged in the two slots 62.

[0034] With the above scheme: when the device is not in operation, all components are in the initial state. The second electric telescopic rod 65 of the clamping device 6 retracts, and the clamping plate 68 is in a relaxed state. When it is necessary to clamp the solar aluminum frame, the lifting plate 61 moves into position with the balance block 4, and one end of the unloading plate 104 is inserted into the slot 62. The four clamping plates 68 initially contact the aluminum frame under the action of the spring 67, which plays a role in buffering and initial positioning. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 65 extends, pushing the pressure plate 66 down. Through the U-shaped connecting frame 63, the force is transmitted, so that the clamping plates 68 further clamp the aluminum frame. The spring 67 deforms appropriately to provide elastic buffering, ensuring that the frame is stable and not excessively squeezed, so as to achieve precise and stable clamping, so that the subsequent unloading and transfer operation can be carried out smoothly, and to ensure that the aluminum frame does not shift or fall during the movement.

[0035] It should be noted that this utility model is a feeding mechanism for the production of aluminum frames for solar cells. During use, before the device is started, all components are in a reset state. The cylinder 5 retracts, causing the clamping device 6 to be in a raised position. When the processed aluminum frame for solar cells is transported to the designated position, the four clamping plates 68, under the action of the spring 67, contact and initially position the aluminum frame. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 65 extends, driving the pressure plate 66 to press down, further clamping the aluminum frame with the clamping plates 68, achieving stable clamping, thus enabling subsequent operations such as welding and cutting. After the operation is completed, the cylinder 5 slowly extends, causing the clamping device 6 and the aluminum frame to rise to a certain height. The two second electric telescopic rods 65 extend and retract, loosening the aluminum frame plates inside the two clamping devices 6. The first electric telescopic rod 8 extends, pushing the aluminum frame plates into the feeding plate 104. Next, the rotary motor 101 starts, driving the movable rod 102 to rotate. The movable rod 102 drives the movable lasso 103 and the connected feeding plate 104 to rotate. Due to the connection between the unloading plate 104 and the clamping device 6, and the clamping of the aluminum frame, the aluminum frame changes position as the unloading plate 104 rotates, thus transferring from above the processing equipment to the unloading direction. When the unloading plate 104 rotates to a suitable angle, such as tilting downwards, the aluminum frame slides down along the movable groove 105 of the unloading plate 104 under the action of gravity. Since there is a lubricating coating in the movable groove 105, the aluminum frame can slide smoothly into the receiving device or storage area of ​​the subsequent process. After the aluminum frame is unloaded, the rotary motor 101 reverses, causing the unloading plate 104 to return to the starting position. The cylinder 5 retracts, the clamping device 6 releases and rises back to the initial height, the first electric telescopic rod 8 retracts, and the entire device waits for the next unloading command. This cycle repeats continuously to complete the unloading of the solar aluminum frame.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
